My comp is done!!!!!!!
The 512MB of Memory ended up being defective though.
Turned on once, shut it down, went to turn it back on, thing wouldn't start... I was so scared that the MB or the CPU was burnt out because of something I did, but that is what it ended up being... *sighs in relief*
Cool!! How is it? Is it as cool as my awesome tablet? Oh, and I updated my wifi drivers, so now I can actually join networks.
Well, It took less than 15 minutes to load Win2000 on it. It may not be as cool as the Tablet, as it is a desktop, but it has a 3GH AMD proc, 120GB HD, etc. I will try to get more specs tonight.
At least I won't have to wait 15 min for it to load like my laptop...
Nice! Your specs balance the lower ohh-ahh factor.
I just can't wait to see what kind of gaming performance I will get out of it.
OOOOHHHHH Yeah....
Blockland! Have I mentioned how awesome handwriting recognition is?

last i checked AMD's top end clocked in at 2.8ghz for single core, or 2.6ghz for dual core
detailed specs of your new comp please!
Hmmm, Kllrnohj is actually rights about that. I second the specs request.

bah! how dare you even consider that I am wrong!
We went through this already about the sun, remember?

exactly, so how could you forget already?
Once I get it all set up and FF installed, then I will see about getting those specs. Got to have priorities you know...

"open wife"? what is that? like a married prostitute?

Open Wife??? WTF?
course, the sad part about "open wife" is that 'e' isn't anywhere near 'i' on a keyboard
Yeah, that is what I looked for when I first saw that.
Now we have something to burn Kerm with for a while...

Let us put that in perspective. My laptop runs a ~550MH processor. So if it isn't quite 3GHZ, Who cares? This is tremendous improvement...

Because the two i listed at 2.8 and 2.6 cost ~$1,000 MSRP, and i doubt you bought one of those
The X2 I am looking at is 2.2ghz (AthlonX2 4400+ for $458), which doesn't round up to 3 (and neither will most AMD procs)
That, and the clockspeed matters less than the proc model. An AthlonXP at 2.2 ghz will get spanked by the X2 at 2.2ghz (even a "vanilla" Athlon64 would smoke the AXP @ identical clock speeds)
I am just telling you what he said he got me. I should know for sure tonight...

hmm....unless by 3ghz he meant that it was the 3000+ model
